Review calls Epic best Android Smartphone.. my question is..

Why does the Epic test 'significantly faster data speeds than the Evo'? Can't see any featured that would account for that.
http://www.kevinism.com/?p=2588

Well, it has a keyboard, some people like the slightly smaller size, it has a keyboard and supports Bluetooth 3.0. If these are important to you, you're likely to think it better than the Evo.

i think you read it wrong:
"Sprint’s version of the Galaxy S sports numerous advantages over its T-Mobile “Vibrant” brethren. First, it adds support for Sprint’s 4G WiMAX network, which has already spread across numerous urban areas in the U.S. In testing with HTC EVO 4G, Sprint’s next-gen network showcased significantly higher data transfer speeds (especially useful while tethering) and the ability to simultaneously make voice calls while transmitting data (not possible using Sprint’s traditional 3G CDMA)."
I believe its saying that testing done on the Evo 4g's 4g network shows significantly higher data transfer speeds than the T-Mobile Vibrant (which the author assumes will be the case on the Epic as well).
poor word choice by the author, but thats his intent. not saying Epic's 4g is faster than Evo's.

Ah... I think your right.... my bad.

The Epic just isn't sexy enough for me. It looks so cheap and old. The EVO is beautiful.

Completely agree.
Gorgeous hardware.
Along with the Iphone its easily the best looking smartphone on earth right now.....although. Ill take the Evo...most out pundits go with the Iphone in the aesthetic dept.

Not really a review as much as breathless fanboy anticipation. For all the vaunted prowess of the Hummingbird processor, all of the Galaxy S phones routinely display lagginess not usually seen on the Evo and the battery life claims as way overstated -- most reviews of the Vibrant and Captivate peg the battery life on par with the Evo and nowhere near double.

I don't think it looks cheap. I just thinks it's too round, I like the Evo's over all shape alot better.

Same. It's definitely not an "ugly" phone exactly... But it definitely doesn't scream "high end" like the EVO, iPhone 4 or the other Galaxy S devices. The keyboard could have something to do with it as well as the roundess. Honestly, I think the best looking Galaxy S device so far is the Captivate. I love the hard edges with the curved top/bottom. It looks very elegant and original and less like an iPhone knockoff like the Vibrant and the regular Galaxy S.

Its Samsung.. like the old saying goes "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."
I had a Moment. That was my one and only Samsung phone. Even if the Epic handed out BJs, I wouldnt buy one.

Couldn't agree more. The moment was the absolute worst phone I ever owned. Traded it for a Hero and couldn't have been happier.
That is, until I upgraded to my Evo

2 words come to mind..."Samsung Instinct"...need I say more?
Granted the A900 Blade was a good phone, it wasn't a smartphone.

Meh, I'm not a fan of samsungs hardware. I'll keep my Evo thnx. Btw my sister inlaw got the intercept, It really feels cheap and toyish IMO.

I don't think its fair to compare the Epic with the Instinct They are way too different and from the looks of it, The Epic looks really nice.

You remember all the hype and millions of dollars that was spent marketing it?

look how fast it took for HTC to send out a OTA for the sdcard etc..
Samsung hasn't changed a bit..have they fixed GPS yet? on any version? No!!

[q] who made the switch to iphone?

i just had to do it lol .. not bad at all imo

You switched? I said I wasn't thinking about it..but now I am.
My phone pissed me all the way off today. Unplug from 10am at 99%...at 2pm I'm at 25%. 25!!!!!! And from 10am to 2pm, I was in my class for an hour and didn't even touch my phone. That's basically 4 ****in hours. 4! I'm still pissed. I've been pissed all day. Let me know how that phone is.
Edit: And you'll probably get flamed for this. People might come in and be like "THE EFF THIS GOTTA DO WITH THE E4GT!!" and this will probably get closed...if it does, pm me. I really want to know about the iPhone

Don't give two ****s about the iPhone. Enjoy being a sheep. And imo, you're trolling.

im loving this phone so far i got the 32 gig i have had all the top sprint phone 3d , photon, and the epic touch ......only thing i miss from my epic is the screen size ... so far speed very fast. better cam better screen i will update on batter life later

Not me. But, I know my daughter wants one. I will do it once the prices drop on Ebay for a clean ESN one off contract. I myself will NEVER own APPLE. It amazes me how people hated M$ years ago and now Apple is doing the same and it's ok. But to each his own. Hope it treats you well. My sister loved hers.

i am a fan of tech, not companies. If an apple product fit my needs from a phone standpoint, i would make the switch no questions. Right now, ET4G is what i am digging, but if you get what you need with an iphone great!

Will you ask siri why we have los

That is the way I also think.....I would switch if the 4s came out with a 4.0-4.5 screen, had a 4g radio would be even better if it had SuperAmoled. Right now it would be a downgrade for me on what I want out of a phone.

if it had 4.3" screen and wimax, I would have bought one
but for now, especially since its off contract, and id need at least 32gb.....who has $749 for a phone lol
Ill wait for the iphone 5 LTE version I guess

What a mistake
Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.
you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

Galaxy Nexus LTE on sprint

idk if u guys already saw this but they have the device advertised on sprints web site now along with another lte phone. Galaxy Nexus coming with 16 GB internal storage only? Seems a bit suckish to me since i have lots of apps vids etc. i think im sticking with my E4GT. in my op its the best phone right now.
http://www.sprint.com/landings/lte/index.html?INTCID=AB:UEU:HERO:010912:GalaxyNexusPrelaunch:960x320
oops just found out we had another thread about this haha. o well lets change the question. what do u guys think is better? E4GT or Galaxy Nexus?

I think the specs for e4gt is better, but I wouldn't mind getting the nexus cost its Google dev phone

Seeing as some of my pet peeves about the NS4G (which i still have as a backup) still made it into the GNexus (low speaker/ringtone/all around volume, 16GB Sprint version [why not 32GB ] etc), i'm not that enthused.
ICS on the NS4G hasn't been all that jazz as well, really not impressed, but it's on much weaker hardware so i can understand.
My Epic Touch on Blazer ROM is flyyying like an eagle and it's great with more than a day of battery life with regular use. Found a deal on a 32GB microSD card the other day for $30...

we can either have Nexus phone and ICS and no 4g or we can have E4TG and 4g and no ICS. By the time E4TG will have ICS, nexus guys will be porting JB...:-
)..unless the new phones ( all at CES) and update speeds (aka asus and htc) makes samsung feel that they might lose number one position...
Edit: I think I will pass Nexus and wait and see is asus padphone comes to sprint. My Tranformer is getting ICS tomorrow..I know they will be updating phones as fast too...

I'm gonna buy a Nexus from Sprint at retail and keep my E4GT hooked up for a bit. That way I still have 4G and can tinker (root/ROM) the Nexus... and when LTE is in Wash DC I can switch to the Nexus. Either way it will be nice to have both devices

I'm getting the galaxy nexus and giving my phone to my lady.I had a evo4g evo 3d nd now epic touch all had 4g but not available I'm my area Phoenix.

Sprint will want lte version on board to stay competitive, It will drop in August / September.
Anyway current GS2 beats GN in performance and specs except for display.
No need for me to waste upgrade on it.

My next phone will either be the nexus or the iPhone 5. If the nexus drops before summer, I will get it, if not it will be too dated to buy new and I will get the iPhone in the fall when the next one comes out. I am just sick of worrying about OS updates.

I am 100 percent sure my next phone won't be a branded Samsung. Their update policy is the worst. I know the nexus is Samsung, but google updates it. The iPhone is a great phone too. Nexus or iPhone, depending in when the nexus reaches sprint. Obviously I won't buy a year old phone lol.

Im rather sure my next phone will be when i have my new 2 year upgrade and it will be a nexus 3 by then and there should be lte everywhere aka end of 2013. Well atleast good 3g but lte would be nice too. There will multiple thousands of people that got the ET3g that will wait for there 2year upgrade. I mean might as well as well get my moneys worth out of this phone. Its not like whe. 2013 role around this phone wont even. Be. Obsolete except the 4g which i dont have here anyway. No phobes will be scroling faster and apps wont be opening much faster. New phones may ha e bettter battery life but not by much, ill ha e ICE within 6 months as a bonus. All new phonea screens will be 720 but at 160 density i can wait. Hell there will still be choke people on pbones way below this one in 2013 still. Im happy as can be and have no prob waiting till my 2year upgrade rolls around

Samsung is the worst, the only reason I keep coming back is because of camera as well as the screen. HTC phones are just average to me, and sense is too much of a hog.

Rogers Galaxy Nexus Discussion Thread

Feel free to use this thread for general discussion related to the Rogers Galaxy Nexus
I've just HUP'd to a Galaxy Nexus, pretty excited to get it in the mail this week. I'm coming from an iPhone 4s.. I've been a die hard Apple fan but I did try some gingerbread phones before and didn't mind it, just had lots of touch screen issues/texting issues (timestamps) and found it to be a hassle.
Anyone else move from an iPhone 4s and want to share an opinion?

I think my main issue though was the grid of icons, using iOS for so long I just started to absolutely HATE it. When they included Notification Center I was happy, but I realized I never even used it like I did when I had my Infuse, because it didn't feel like a real part of the OS... just a place to go to clear notifications, not SEE them and interact with them.

It is honestly the best phone I have ever seen, everything is great on it. The quality and size of the phone makes the iPhone look like a toy in my opinion. Also ICS gives Android the polish that's its needed in looks and performance.

My main device is BlackBerry, but I have 2 lines. I have the HTC Amaze on my second line now. I love the Amaze but it's too heavy for me to carry both devices. There's only so many purses a girl could buy! I was messing around with the Galaxy Nexus this weekend and it's a pretty sleek device. I thought about getting the Samsung Galaxy SII because of the Exynos CPU, but I need a notification led light. BlackBerry spoiled me in that department. Besides the Galaxy Nexus, any other device I should consider? I need something that is light, thin and fast.

The Amaze is faster, call quality is much better, build quality more solid, screen looks better even though they both have the same res. and the speaker is much louder. The speaker on the EVO 3D was low and tin like. Overall I am very happy with the Amaze.

Coming from a Droid Incredible

I am coming to Sprint (and locked into the network) from a Verizon Droid Incredible. I loved the phone and I am sad to see it go, but Verizon doesn't do well in my new location. Sprint is the best and I am torn. The area also does not have 4g.
My entire family has gone with the 4s but I am on the fence. I love the openness of Android. I have an old Ipod touch 2g that has been used just for music since I got the Dinc.
Is this the phone to get or should I just get an Iphone?

E4GT is an amazing phone period even with it being a bit older then the 4S. Honestly if you do love Android (as you have one already) You will love the E4GT

Epic Touch for the win! The screen size is the best, compared to the tiny screensize of the iPhone. You'll get more out of this device than the iPhone.

The 4s was a great phone but in the end I missed Android so much and I really missed the screen size of the Epic Touch so I went back to the Epic Touch. If you really love Android and your on Sprint the Epic Touch is hands down the best phone Sprint has to offer at the moment.

trust me, your iPhone toting family/friends will be envious. all of mine are.
of the screen. of the android features. of the tethering. of the camera. but mostly of the screen, all of the iPhone folk that know nothing about the tech behind it or the possibilities that android gives you are Always jealous of the screen, because thats all they see, that's the only feature that matters to them that they can understand. (f*cking magpies. lol.)
every. single. iPhone. user. I have encountered since picking this phone stops. stares. asks in a quiet voice... "what phone is that?", mouth slightly agape.
I tell them it's a Galaxy S II. as casually offhandly possible.
"... is that... an Android phone?... I... didn't know it could (insert awesome feature here)..."
every. damn. time.

Yeah...,the gs2 gets attention. Very very nice phone. If sprint is strong in your area I don't see you regretting it

I am coming to Sprint (and locked into the network) from a Verizon Droid Incredible. I loved the phone and I am sad to see it go, but Verizon doesn't do well in my new location. Sprint is the best and I am torn. The area also does not have 4g.
My entire family has gone with the 4s but I am on the fence. I love the openness of Android. I have an old Ipod touch 2g that has been used just for music since I got the Dinc.
Is this the phone to get or should I just get an Iphone?

Actually While I do love my android phones I don't have an issue telling someone they will like the iPhone more for what they are going to use it for. It's pretty simple if you like another phone use it if not stick with what you know. As it is there is a 14 day "period" of time he can use/try the iPhone 4S and if he does not like it return it and get the E4GT. Either way it's really up to him.

Lol. I be honest to. Everyone in my soho has either a flip/keyboard phone, or an Iphone and Everytime some one sees it they always are like wow.. I wish I would of got that phone.. And yes the main thing the focus on is the beautiful screen because that's he first thing they see, of course they always love the lockscreen also

I am still really torn. My mom got the iphone on my recommendation for its simplicity/intuitive UI. She isn't a power user. My dad got it because he needed a mac for his work education and really liked the iCloud. Is there any inkling on when the galaxy S3 will go on sale?

Samsung will not even talk about the SG3 period all anyone knows is "summer" and that's about it. And honestly that's not even saying much I will say this however even though the GS3 will have better specs then the GS2 the GS2 regardless is still a beast of a phone. Out of the box it stands against pretty much every single phone released right now including the GNexus. Like I've said in another post you do have a 14 day window you can test a phone out. Give both the iPhone and the GS2 a go and see which one YOU like more.

I find nothing appealing about the iPhone at all. My GF has a 4s, and I honestly cannot stand it. There's no way I could ever go from *any* android phone to an iPhone. Just looking at the iPhone 4s screen after using my E4GT makes it look like a pile of barf. Yeah, it has really high pixel density, but who cares when the screen is so small that your thumb can cover 6 buttons at once.
